Chapter 120: All Crazy
As winter nights approach, the sky is like thick ancient ink falling into the abyss. Just a little bit can dye the sky a deep color.
The airport was brightly lit. In the separate waiting room, Lin You looked powerlessly at Shen Yi who was sitting beside him.
After she drank that glass of red wine, she felt weak and dizzy. No matter how stupid she was, she knew she had been tricked.
Shen Yi was on the phone, seemingly explaining to the other party the arrangements for the plane after landing.
After finishing the call, he came back and squatted in front of Lin You's knees. He put the phone aside and gently held Lin You's hand again.
"Senior, I have accumulated some strength outside these years. Don't worry, after you come with me, no one will bully you, and no one will look down on you."
If Cheng Yaojin hadn't appeared out of nowhere, he would have been ready to stand by her and protect her after he had made his mark in the country.
But now, he can't wait any longer.
Lin You pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes misty.
A trace of heartache flashed across Shen Yi's face. He stroked the back of her hand and soothed her softly, "I know it's unfair for you to leave your hometown, but I have no choice. If I want to be with you, this seems to be the only way."
He sighed deeply and blurted out everything that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.
"Chen Lang hurt you so much back then, and you've clearly been unkind to people in that circle over the past two years. I thought as long as Shi Jingyuan and Cheng Hao were in that circle, you would never give them a chance."
"It was my fault. I misjudged you, so I should take the responsibility."
His tone of voice was obviously extremely gentle, but the words he said were full of paranoid opinions.
Lin You suddenly thought of a word, a scumbag!
It’s impossible not to feel heartbroken when the warm and sunny junior student I had in my impression suddenly revealed his true face.
“Chen Yi, I’m just an ordinary person. It’s not worth it for you to take such a big risk…”
"Whether it's worth it or not is not up to you to decide."
Shen Yi interrupted him, raised her hand and stroked her face, her voice might be hoarse when she smiled.
"Senior, if you knew that my will to live was derived from wanting to be with you forever, you wouldn't say such things."
"I don't need you to understand my feelings, nor do I need you to approve of everything I do. To survive, I need a motivation that can make me feel warm and see hope."
"This world is too dark. Without you, there is no point in me living."
"I know that such exaggerated words will be regarded as sensational lies. But, to me, this is the truth.
"The whole world can think I'm crazy, as long as I know what I'm doing, that's enough."
Things have come to this point, and there is no room for negotiation.
Lin You might not be able to empathize with him, but the determination in his eyes was enough to make her believe that what he said was true.
She seemed to see a giant beast hiding in the abyss. The beast kept looking up, but apart from the pool of water that covered the sky and the earth, it could not see any hope.
He was struggling in pain and had long lost his mind.
At that moment, even though he did such a crazy thing, Lin You still felt sympathy for him.
This touch of sympathy made Lin You lose the courage to blame him again.
Lin You slowly lowered his head and no longer looked at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi looked at the lonely Lin You, his eyes reddened, and he choked and said:
"I knew you were kind. I was about to force you to go abroad, but you didn't even have the heart to hate me..."

When Shi Jingyuan opened the door of the apartment, three hours had passed since he last called Lin You.
He called Lin You before boarding the plane. Chen Lingling answered the call. After boarding the plane, he turned off his phone.
After the plane landed, he turned on his phone, but did not receive a call from Lin You.
He called Lin You with doubts, but the phone kept saying it was turned off.
At first he didn't care too much, until he called Chen Lingling and the phone was turned off, he started to get nervous.
After leaving the airport, he asked the driver to increase the speed to the maximum, and it only took twenty minutes to reach the apartment.
When he opened the door of the apartment, he saw Chen Lingling fainted on the sofa, with a broken cell phone at her feet.
There was leftover food and half a bottle of red wine on the table.
There were only two glasses of red wine, one of which was empty, and the other still had a small amount left.
Shi Jingyuan's light grey pupils constricted, and he loosened his tie impatiently, then asked He Xuan, who had followed him, to call the police immediately.
He called Liang Wu again and asked him to send an ambulance directly.
After He Xuan called the police, he came to Shi Jingyuan with a nervous look and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Shi... is Shen Yi really that important?"
Shi Jingyuan took out a cigarette, lit it, and responded in a rough voice.
He Xuan's face was full of worry, but when he saw the gloom on his boss's face, he didn't dare to say anything.
The police and ambulance arrived one after another, and after inquiring about the relevant situation, they began to take action.
Following the ambulance came Liang Wu, who was carrying a portable test box and directly directing one of the doctors to collect clues.
The test results, which would have taken a day to get sent to the laboratory, were produced in less than ten minutes.
The doctor handed Liang Wu a report. After reading it, Liang Wu said to Shi Jingyuan with a heavy face:
"There really is a special drug ingredient in the red wine. A quick test can only show that this drug can cause muscle weakness. Whether it has any other effects requires detailed testing to get a clear result."
The cigarette in Shi Jingyuan's hand burned out, and he already had a guess in his mind, "Okay, I got it."
Liang Wu was really shocked when he saw his expression.
The two have known each other for many years. Even though Shi Jingyuan appears calm on the surface, he can still see the intense anger in his eyes.
Liang Wu asked, "What are you going to do?"
Shi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, sneering, "He can get her away by any of the three routes: land, sea, or air..."
Liang Wu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and exclaimed in shock, "Are you crazy?"
Shi Jingyuan didn't answer, but turned around and made a few phone calls.
Liang Wu looked at his back and couldn't help but hesitate. He grabbed his hair with both hands anxiously and kept muttering to himself.
"What a lunatic! It's easy to say that the three waterways are empty, but this is Jinggang City. Who dares to cut off the three waterways just like that?"
"Shi Jingyuan, don't be impulsive! You've finally gotten your seat at the head of the Shi family. If you use the family's resources like this, who knows what the old man will do to you if he finds out!"
"Shi Jingyuan..."
Liang Wu's unfinished words were interrupted by Shi Jingyuan's sharp look when he turned around.
Many years later, Liang Wu still remembered that look.
Cruel, decisive, and... murderous.
